Spent 14 hours yesterday smoking my first brisket and wow, why did nobody tell me how hard this is? It was dry in some spots and perfect in others. I think I didn't wrap it right h
Okay so camping with a 4yo and a 7yo went way better than expected. I was terrified about bathrooms and bugs and them being bored but they were actually amazing. We hiked for like
